How to use pdmd2026/pdmd_4NFE_full with Diffusers:
pip install -U diffusers transformers accelerate
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
# switch to "mps" for apple devices
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("pdmd2026/pdmd_4NFE_full", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="cuda")
prompt = "Astronaut in a jungle, cold color palette, muted colors, detailed, 8k"
image = pipe(prompt).images[0]Full transformer weights (MiniMaxH3Transformer3DModel, bf16) of a 4-step (4 NFE) student
distilled from MiniMax-H3 with Projected
Distribution Matching Distillation (PDMD). It is a drop-in replacement for the transformer/
of the base model; every other component comes from the base model. The same model is also
available as a LoRA in pdmd2026/pdmd_4NFE_lora.
import torch
from diffusers import MiniMaxH3Transformer3DModel
transformer = MiniMaxH3Transformer3DModel.from_pretrained(
"pdmd2026/pdmd_4NFE_full", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
Sample with 4 denoising steps using the base model's released scheduler configuration (shift 12 / 3).
